I loved the Kilkerran 12. One of the best under 15 you can buy, especially considering the price point. This one...wasn’t a fan. Way too hot, young and brash. Sooty smoke that isn’t well integrated with the other flavors . Really disjointed.
Out of the 12 we had in last night’s tasting @Richard-ModernDrinking, to me personally, this was 3rd last in ranking behind the Bunna Palo Cortado and Lagavulin 10.

@PBMichiganWolverine @Rick_M Yeah that's the reason why I'm only concentrating on the more highly rated stuff going forward. The last bunch of samples I bought back from Australia on Friday were just (hopefully) all top notch stuff. Even then the 170 I have will at my current rate take me a couple of years. So definitely no more sample or bottle buying for me for a while. I'll hoover up anything else I'm interested at Dramfest next March. As a side note I'm currently backed up on my reviews as I can't add any new bottles on the site as their is a bug with their android app.
@Rick_M @PBMichiganWolverine Ah I've slowed down a lot these days welcome for someone else to take the mantle.There are a lot of younger hungrier kids out there with better livers than mine..I think worldwhiskies95 will be steaming by all of us shortly given how rapidly he tastes!
@Rick_M yeah—but I have 600 bottles and 300 samples. I just need a few lifetimes to catch up
Of course, don’t get too comfortable. @soba45 has 100 samples in reserves and ready to bury all comers. :)
@PBMichiganWolverine - you just tied @Soba45. One more and you can be the new king! :)
@PBMichiganWolverine I haven't, I'll look for it!
@dubz480 have you tried the 12? The 12 is definitely worth the price
Almost paid $67 for this too!! Thanks for confirming it was a good pass!
